Hey Ron, I'll PM you my email address... If she can do both EPS and PSD, please email me both.

Got the PM. She'll try to email them - it's actually on illustrator so it will be .AI and .EPS

Bueno. I'll deal with CafePress and publish a shirt to the group. My family emigrated from Dufeland in the late 1800s, so I can confidently assert I am a proud Dufus-American!

The shingles are still pretty painful, but I need to do something. So, I figure I'll just row through the "minor annoyance". My mother is a Dane, and she was telling me that the literal translation of the shingles from Danish to English is "Hellfire". Pretty much hits it right on the nose. The 34K or so was from a few days. By the way-how do I get on the t-shirt,cup list or whatever you're doing? And, yes, I'm too lazy to go read 8-10 pages of missed posts .

[damselfly]

Hellfire, eh? So sorry to hear! Can the docs do anything about it?

If I'm successful, I'll publish a link here to CafePress for the shirt. Watch this space.

Hey Brent... I can reset it to a more attainable number or just remove it -- that goal isn't there to beat us up (well, it is for Izzy, but he's different). It's there to encourage us.

Oh good, can you reset mine to, oh, I don't know, like 10km?

Had to look this up. I heard of shingles, but didn't know much about it.

Uhm...


OUCH

Are you sure your name isn't Steve Austin? ---> 2:10.5 for 1:31:46 Wow!! If you really are human, I have a new goal to shoot for.

Thanks Mike, though I am still quite a way from Steve Austin status.

In any case, the way I felt at the end of it didn't make me feel all too bionic.

I think there's nothing that screams "I am a man" more than biting off more than you can chew and then letting the world watch you try to chew it.

Okay, well, then pardon me while I chew with my mouth full.

Oh, and pardon the crumbs - sorry for the mess.

REAL men don't notice crumbs. At least, mine doesn't.

Hey Brent, you're at 115,469 dude! That's not in any way shabby for three weeks of rowing!! I set you to 120k. Get you back on the erg for a couple of shorties in the next 7 days... Doable?

Your friendly rowing taskmaster...

[ronmardix]

Hey Brent, you're at 115,469 dude! That's not in any way shabby for three weeks of rowing!!

Agreed, Brent, 115k in 3 weeks is an average of over 5k per day. Hardly shabby indeed

FYI from what the doctor told my wife when she developed the shingles on her forehead, it is basically an adult form of the chicken pox. if you have had the chicken pox then you have a chance of developing shingles. They gave my wife some pain meds and and anti iche cream and they were gone in a few days... but they are very painful... check with the Dr. I am sure he can give you something.... Best of luck .....

... and adding to our "whatever floats your boat" department, check out this awesome bit of recycling!! They've even got life preservers!

OK folks, I've put together yer basic t-shirt on CafePress. Have a look. Let me know if you think either side is too big, or you want one with just the pocket design, etc. And if you want other products like mugs, etc.

Fine with me. But since you are askin' -- the pocket size image could be a bit smaller. A tiny bit.
